Coinby is the het ship between Coiny and Ruby from the Battle for Dream Island fandom.
Canon[]
Battle for Dream Island Again[]
As Coiny and most of the other remaining contestants switch over to FreeSmart, he becomes teammates with Ruby in the newly formed Beautiful Face Devotion Institute. For the ice cream challenge, Golf Ball assigns Coiny, Ruby, and Tennis Ball to make the ice cream for the team. At Gelatin's Stakehouse, Tennis Ball points out to Coiny and Ruby that the ingredients should be behind the store's safe. Coiny and Ruby struggle to get the locked door open as Ruby asks for Tennis Ball to help them pull it open. They manage to bend the door but still can not get by it. After Coiny gets the passcode for the door, he and Ruby go inside and search through the room to find ice cream ingredients. Ruby finds several ingredients to use and Coiny finds a tub of pre-baked ice cream that he wants to sell. However, Ruby looks at the label and learns that the ice cream expired a year and a half ago, shocking Coiny. He changes his mind and the two shortly realize that Tennis Ball isn't with them anymore. Later, Coiny and Ruby mix the ingredients into a bowl and finish making the ice cream. The two hand it over to Pin who is running the ice cream stand. While they try and sell the ice cream, Ruby chugs the large pile of ice cream and Coiny is happy that they made 500 gallons worth of it. However, the restaurant's fire sprinklers go off and melt the pile, saddening Coiny and Ruby.
In the next challenge after the teams separate again, FreeSmart notices that Coiny has the last key to unlock Flower's petal. Ruby charges at him after Book tells her to grab it from him, making Coiny kick her off of him. He grabs Pencil and shatters Ruby, enraging Pencil for being used by Coiny to kill her friend.
When Ruby gets the prize at Cake at Stake, Coiny is shocked at the sight of her shrink ray being used to shrink Pin. During the bug dodgeball challenge when Coiny tells everyone to go for Fries, Ruby follows him in doing so. Later when just Coiny, Ruby, and Needle remain in the challenge, Coiny finds the other two in the auditorium. The two angrily call each other's names but Coiny quickly becomes confused on why Ruby is blue, not realizing her sisters are competing alongside her. Ruby launches a bug at Coiny and wails when he dodges it. As the audience members restrain Ruby for being too loud, she calls out for Needle to save their team from Coiny. Coiny tries to talk sense into Needle since she has spent more time with his team and orders her to kill Ruby. However, Needle decides to show her loyalty to her new team and poisons Coiny with a bug, satisfying Ruby.
After Ruby nearly caused Pin and Coiny to lose the bunk bed challenge, Coiny agrees with a user comment against Ruby that called her out for stealing Pin's song. As the results between Book and Ruby are being revealed, Coiny talks with Pin about their shared excitement between which one of them will get eliminated.
Fanon[]
Coinby is relatively rare in the fandom overall. While always seen as a rarepair beforehand, interest in the two picked up during the BFDIA revival run. The season at first depicted them getting along well in their first major episode together, largely where their shippers came from. Despite the season later making them enemies, their moments mainly in making ice cream for their team together highlighted to fans of the two that they could be friends when they are allied together. The ship gained a following on platforms mainly as fan art on DeviantArt. The pairing is rivaled in the context of the season by those such as Coinpin and Rubook.
On AO3, as of November 15, 2024, the ship has 1 work under its romantic tag.
